    摘要: A photomask blank is for use in manufacturing a photomask to be applied with exposure light having a wavelength of 200 nm or less. The photomask blank has a light-transmitting substrate and a light-shielding film formed thereon. The light-shielding film has a light-shielding layer containing a transition metal and silicon and a front-surface antireflection layer formed contiguously on the light-shielding layer and made of a material containing at least one of oxygen and nitrogen. The light-shielding film has a front-surface reflectance of a predetermined value or less for the exposure light and has a property capable of controlling the change width of the front-surface reflectance at the exposure wavelength to be within 2% when the thickness of the front-surface antireflection layer changes in the range of 2 nm. The material of the front-surface antireflection layer having a refractive index n and an extinction coefficient k capable of achieving such property is selected.

    摘要: A photomask blank for a photomask used with an ArF excimer laser. The photo mask has a light transmissive substrate with a surface on which a light-shielding film is formed. The light-shielding film has a laminated structure comprising a back-surface antireflection layer, a light-shielding layer and a front-surface antireflection layer. The thickness of the entire light-shielding film is 70 nm or less. The back-surface antireflection layer comprises a film containing a metal and having first etching rate. The front-surface antireflection layer comprises a film containing a metal and having a third etching rate. The light-shielding layer comprises a film containing the same metal as that contained in the back-surface antireflection layer or the front-surface antireflection layer, with a second etching rate that is lower than the first and third etching rates. The thickness of the light-shielding layer is 45% or less of the thickness of the entire light-shielding film.
